The 20-inch, 12-gallon SC500 replaces Advance’s Adfinity 20-inch scrubber line. It is available in both disc and orbital REV™ models.

Satisfying Cleaning Requirements in Education Facilities

Each school day, some 56 million students and 6 million staff study and word in our nation’s schools. Over the last several years, many states have passed laws to address issues related to indoor air quality and to replace outdated cleaning methods with new green cleaning programs. Advance has led the industry in the development of innovative floor cleaning equipment that helps schools meet state the new more stringent cleaning requirements, maximize productivity while staying within budget constraints.

Educators agree that maintaining a clean school helps students stay healthy and learn, while also protecting the health of all staff and increasing the lifespan of facilities. Advance offers cutting edge technologies such as REV™orbital scrubbing technology to help cleaning professionals achieve maximum levels of productivity with a minimal environmental impact. REV scrubbing technology allows users to remove several layers of floor finish with plain tap water. Because floor removal is one of the most time consuming and hazardous cleaning process undertaken in schools, REV can help remove the most caustic chemicals from your schools and eliminate many of the slip and fall incidents that cleaning professionals suffer while removing finish and recoating floors.
